"Nowhere Fast" lyrics

There's a skyline city buried in my mind
Traces of man long left behind
I swear I haven't changed, but some think I might
I swear I haven't changed, and it ain't a matter of time
I thought moving on to something new would fill my time
But again, I'm just as empty as a bottle of wine
Oh Lord, I can't erase what's wired in my mind
Oh Lord, I can't erase what's wired in my mind

Dove in deep to cut in my roots
Prayin' to the Lord I'll find my truth
Right now, right here don't feel like anywhere
Through these days that beat my ass
And learning you just can't get nowhere fast
Somehow, someday I know I'll make it there
Somehow, someday I know I'll make it there

There's a drop dead smile and a beautiful mind
That I traded for a dollar and a couple of lines
I sing every night, but it still just ain't right
And I remember holding hope in the stinging cold
Said I'd make a little money and move on home
But we both know that it just won't go that way
But we both know that it just won't go that way

Dove in deep to cut in my roots
Prayin' to the Lord I'll find my truth
Right now, right here don't feel like anywhere
Through these days that beat my ass
And learning you just can't get nowhere fast
Somehow, someday I know I'll make it there
I know I'll make it there
Lord, I know I'll make it there

There's a skyline city buried in my mind
Traces of a man long left behind
I swear I haven't changed, but some think I might
I swear I haven't changed, and it ain't a matter of time
